Studying by the Seaside:Oostende and Bruges

So the past 2 weeks have really been filled with studying, writing papers and taking exams, but I'm nearly finished!

May 21: I had to take advantage of my location. I have been studying in my room so much lately that I decided to take a break. There was a train in the morning that got me up to Oostende, which is Belgium's largest seaside city, by about 11. It was beautiful and definitely had a very nautical feeling. After walking around town a little bit, seeing the cathedral, and the main monuments, I took some time to relax and study on the beach. A word of caution: no matter how long it has been since you've walked along the beach, never forget that the sea can create some surprisingly large waves. Now is the time where I add in another hour of studying while I waited for my jeans to dry. :0)

Well, I didn't stay all day because I was meeting up with my bible study group in Brussels that night and I wanted to check out Bruges again. If you've been following the blog, you probably know that I went there a few months ago, when it was a bit chilly. It's like whole different place now, filled with markets, beautiful flowers, and bikes galore. I'm glad I got a chance to see it again. After walking around for a bit, it was back for another Wednesday evening in Brussels.
